Coefficient maps in the explicit-to-algebraic cohomology comparison #
For a discrete group, the comparison explicitH2AddEquivGroupCohomology commutes with
continuous equivariant coefficient maps. The coefficient modules need not be discrete, and
the representation may be over any commutative ring. The comparison therefore transfers an
algebraic isomorphism on second cohomology to the explicit continuous coefficient map.
This is useful for maps between compact extension kernels: an algebraic calculation of the cohomology of a relation-module map can be used in the continuous extension-lifting criterion, without replacing that map by an independently chosen isomorphism of cohomology groups. The group and the additive coefficient coordinates may both be changed by the comparison.

The explicit-to-algebraic comparison in degree two commutes with a continuous coefficient map, read in any compatible additive coordinates and over any coefficient ring.
An explicit continuous coefficient map is bijective on second cohomology exactly when the same coefficient map in algebraic representation coordinates is bijective.
An algebraic coefficient map that is an isomorphism on second cohomology gives a bijective explicit continuous coefficient map in compatible coordinates.
